Last time I checked, it was not mandatory to work for Toyota, so anyone feeling overworked there could leave. Unlike those feeling threatened under President felon, who can't just up and leave the country. Regarding the "retrofuturistic shape" I wrote above: "put a higher weight on looks".

Yes, that's the "mostly agree" part. 👍

While I mostly agree, let me point out that a random person is not going to get a CT. It's almost 100% rich, right-wing tech-bros or fElon fanboys, or narcissistic assholes. If anyone is blowing away that much money, they have either researched the market and have put a higher weight on looks, ideology or signalling loyalty than on any practical aspects - or they have done no research at all. Both cases deserve to be ridiculed.

Hard lol at the thought of synthesizing insulin at home. Look a bit into the practical aspects of medicine manufacturing and the quality assurances required to avoid killing the patients.

"Samudzi is concerned that a Kennedy appointment could result in policies that halt research and dismantle demonstrably proven health interventions."

I assumed it is already well-known that this is exactly the goal of his nomination.

Sure, it was them who acted tough for the rewards when there were no risks and now are reluctant to actually take those risks. And this is textbook hypocrisy that deserves to be called out.

I'm not a vegan, nor claim or aim to be one. But if I went about loudly proclaiming that I was, using this to justify my actions, and then it became public knowledge that I am in fact not a vegan, then it would be the same hypocrisy. When a group claims to need weapons to quell a threat to democracy, and then proceeds to ignore the threat when it arises, then they are hypocrites. Hope that helped understand the point - let me know if it did 👍

My wife is a 30+ woman and she loved (among others) OneShot, World of Goo, and Final Fantasy XV.

OneShot is an atmospheric, story-based game with some puzzle elements and a lot of lovable characters. On the flip side, there's a lot of walking and it's easy to get lost. Nevertheless, there's a deep connection you as the player can build with the characters and the world they inhabit.

World of Goo is a physics-based building game, where you build bridges and towers out of cute sentient rubber-like balls, but beneath the solid physics, art and music there lies a deep social commentary too.

Final Fantasy XV is the most mainstream of these, but it is an entry into the FF games specifically designed for newcomers in mind. It follows four main and several supporting characters on a journey that starts as a road trip interspersed with beginner-friendly but still jaw-droppingly well rendered and animated combat and slowly but surely escalated to an epic catharsis.

Or by generating the hashes of all expected permutations of the password the user has just set, and keeping them until the next password is set to compare against. Granted, that would be a prodigious number, but technically doable.

If your comment is sarcasm, then it's brilliant.

Ah, I think I got the source of misunderstanding: these mechanisms are not automated, but implemented as moderation guidelines and rules.

 

Hypothetically, if a colleague has repeatedly demonstrated the utter lack of reading comprehension skills (like pulling the same door labelled "push" for the hundredth time), what job could one suggest for them where this "disability" wouldn't be detrimental?

 

AFAIK it all boils down to the fact that during embryonal development our cells, which at that point were just a blob of undifferentiated autonomous chemical machines, somehow managed to unanimously agree upon the cardinal directions (up-down, left-right, front-back) for future development - and thanks to this, we don't have toes growing out of our ears.
